STOVE.

STECIPTGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 339,355, dated April 6,1886.

Application filed August '26, 1885. Serial No. 175,362. (No model.)

to stove which may be of sufficient capacity to furnish heat for two ormore rooms without furnishing an excess of heat in the room in whichsaid stove may be placed.

My invention consists in details of construcrstion described below, andpointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawi11gs,forming part of this specification, Figurel is a side view, partly in broken section, chiefly showing the goarrangement of the radiating-cylinder, the

drums, the base-plate, and the ash-box, and the manner of disposing ofthe heated air at the top of the stove. Fig. 2 is a detail view, partlyin broken section, showing the radiating-eylinder, the ash-box, and thebaseplate. Fig. 3 is a detached plan view of the base-plate, having theash-chamber provided with a dump jug-grate in position thereon. Fig. 4is a plan view of the top plate of my improved stove,

30 showing holes in which the stay-rods are placed. Fig. 5 is a detailview, partiy in broken section, of the upper part ofthe stove.

Similar reference letters indicate ciirresponding parts throughout theseveral views.

The base'plate A is supported by ordinary feet and may be made of anyornamental design. Upon its center rests the aslrchamber B. This ispreferably cast in one piece, and a little oblong in form from front toback, the

40 back being semicircular and the front curvilinear to correspond withthe outer cylinder of the stove. Concentric with the back of theaslrchambcrB, and in the top thereof,is formed an opening, b,into whichthe grate O is placed 4 5 and supported by asuitable shaking and dumping bar, 0, which is hung in bearings formed in the front and back ofsaid ashchamber, just below the top thereof.

The ash-chamber may be formed open at the bottom and the base-plateserve for its bottom,

or it maybe provided with a bottom, b,as seen in the drawings. Upon thetop of this ash-chamber rests the fire-brick orliningD for the stove,and surrounding this lining is the radiatingcylinder E, provided infront with an opening for the entrance of fuel, located just above thelining D, at the back with an opening for a smoke-pipe, and having acover or top plate, F. This cylinder E at its lower end in frontterminates at the top of the ash-ehamber B, where it is riveted orotherwise secured to a flange, b )rojecting upward from said ashchamber.The back part of said cylinder extends down to the baseplate A, thesides of this extension being secured by stove-bolts to the verticalsides of the ash-chamber, as seen in Fig. 2.

Surrounding the ash-chamber and the cylinder E is a drum, G, of threeinches (more or less) larger diameter than said radiating-cylinder E.This latter drum G exten ds from the base A to an outer top plate, H. Anexterior drum, I, of two inches (more or less) larger diameter than thesaid drum G-,is placed over all, and extends from the base'plate to theouter top plate, H, and stay-rods J are provided for securing said topplate and said exterior drums to the baseplate A. Like stayrods may alsobe used for staying the plate F. There may be two or more of thesestay-rods J, which pass through the holes h in the top plate, H, thencebetween the cylinder E and drum G, and through the holes a in thebaseplate A, where they may be provided with 'a thread and authorclamping the parts securely together. Annular ridges a a? are providedon the base-plate A for steadying,respective] y, the drums G I, the topsof which are held in their respective places by the flanges h 71 formedupon the under side of the outer top plate, H.

The base-plate A is perforated with suitable openings, a (4*, for theadmission of cool air into the chambers formed by the drums GI- e., theopenings at admitting air to the drum G and the openings a connectingwith the drum I.

The drum G- is provided with openings g near its top, for the escape ordischarge of the air circulatin through the drum 1.

A casing, In, is provided as a incl-passage through the severalcylinders to the fire-pot.

This is provided with flanges 7- 75,01? proper form to fit the cylindersE I, respectively, to which they may be riveted or otherwise secured.

Ashort pipe, L, passing through the several cylinders, may be secured tothe inner and outer cylinder by suitable flanges, Z Z, cast thereon, andits outer end be adapted to receive an ordinary sheet-iron smoke-pipe,M, provided with a damper, m.

The outer top plate, H, is provided with an opening, hflfordischargingthe air circulating through the cylinders G I.

The top plate, F, may have a central opening to which may be connected asmoke-pipe, N, in place of discharging the products of combustion at theback of the stove through a pipe, M, which in the latter case may bedispensed with.

lVhen this stove is in operation, the air entering the opening at ofthebase-plate A passes upward through the cylinder I (becoming more orless heated during its progress) and through the openings g, near thetop of the cylinder G, where it mingles with the air passing out fromthe latter cylinder. All of said air passing directly over the inner topplate, F, of the radiatingcylinder E becomes thoroughly heated beforeescaping through the opening If If desired, this of the outer top plate,H.

opening h may connect with an air conductor or pipe, 0, for conductingthe heated air to an apartment overhead, and a suitable slide, 0, may beprovided in this pipe for the purpose of letting some of this heated airout into the apartment in which the stove is placed, if at any timerequired.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s

1. The combination, with the base-plate A, having perforations a m ofthe ash-box B,the lining D, supported on said ash-box, theradiating-cylinder E, having plate F, the drum G, perforatedeircumferentially at g g, the drum I, and the top plate, H, as and forthe purpose set forth.

2. The combination of the base and fire-pot of a stove with cylinder-E,having plate F and smoke-pipe N, the drum G, perforated at gg, the drumI, the top plate, H, and the air-pipe 0, having slide' 0, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
